Description-en: Link two X displays together, simulating a multiheaded display
x2x joins a pair of X displays together, as if they were a single
multiheaded display. The pointer can be warped between displays, or,
depending on how you start x2x, can slide from one display to the
other when it runs off the edge of the screen. Keyboard focus also
moves between displays in the way you'd expect, and the X selection
propagates around. This is useful when you have two displays on the
same desk, as you can use a single keyboard and mouse to control
both. (The displays being controlled remotely must support the XTEST
extension. The servers shipped by Debian support this.)
